Car Show-ready Xb W/ Sliding Roof 18in Boyd Coddington Wheels Airbag Suspension on 2040-cars
Irvine, California, United States
|
To kick things off, the owner wanted his xB to be pavement level which is accomplished with EasyStreet air struts in the front and EasyStreet bags and brackets in the rear. Now this wicked mini-suv lays down nicely over a set of Boyd 18x8-inch Smoothie II wheels with Kumho 215/35/18 rubber providing the traction. Even though this box sits low, it can be picked back up to stock height (or higher) with the flick of a switch, making it a practical daily driver during the week, and a force to be reckoned with at the weekend car shows.
Shaved all the factory badges and Putco billet grille inserts were bolted into place. A StreetBeat Customs 40-inch by 70-inch sliding ragtop was worked into the roofline to let the sun shine in. However, the most noticeable thing about this Scion is the Black Sand Pearl paint topped off with a set of hot rod flames. The flames consist of House of Kolor Majik Blue that fades into Passion Purple with Reflex Blue providing a nice pinstripe outline. All the plastic interior parts were painted and pinstriped to match the outside and a set of Autometer gauges from XBgauges.com were installed. A Billet Specialties steering wheel replaces the stock steering device and a Boomerang custom center console with a TRD short shifter, sits snugly between the bucket seats. A Katzkin black and blue two-tone theme covers the interior parts with custom flamed door inserts, and floor mats. A blue suede headliner and A,B,C pillars finish the interior. Blue StreetGlow neon and LED lighting set the interior off in the evening hours at automotive shows and cruise-ins. An Alpine in-dash LCD screen double din DVD head unit. A custom fiberglass subwoofer enclosure was constructed for the rear storage area that contains two 10-inch Type-R Alpine subs and a 4-channel Alpine amp, the finishing of the subwoofer box/amp mount is painted to match the exterior along with a little hot rod pinstriping. Alpine 7-inch LCD monitors were installed in each front seat headrest and the stock speakers were replaced with 6.5-inch Alpine component Type-R speakers. One of the most interesting modifications is the mounting location of the two Alpine mono-amps which are mounted in the rear side windows. Under the hood, the Toyota 1NZ 1.5L four cylinder engine has a few performance and visual upgrades. On the performance side of things, a cold air intake was bolted into place along with a custom header, lighten crank pulley, and a Borla exhaust system. The tab for this build was over $30k. Selling it for a screaming deal and hope to get it in the hands of an owner who will continue to keep it looking show quality. I am open to trades - please text or email me pictures with detailed descriptions of what you are looking to trade. |

Toyota profits up 23% on high US sales, despite mounting legal costs
Tue, 05 Feb 2013Toyota earned $9.3 billion in net income in the financial year that ends next month. The number beats earlier forecasts and marks a five-year high for the automaker, with both operating income and revenue up by 9.5 percent and 2.5 percent, respectively. Toyota saw quarterly profit enjoy a year-on-year jump of 23.4 percent, with the manufacturer earning more than $1 billion between October and December 2012. The good news comes in spite of the fact that the Japanese automaker actually endured an operating loss in North America, due in part to legal fees.
Toyota is set to pay more than $1 billion to owners who claim their vehicles decreased in value as a result of the company's recent spate of recalls. Even so, all three of the automaker's brands enjoyed a 13.5 percent sales increase in the US in the last quarter, beating the industry average. Toyota faltered in Europe, however, where it earned $99 million in operating profit last year, compared to $111 million in 2011. You can take a closer look at the company's full press release below for more information.
Toyota GT86 convertible could debut in March
Tue, 27 Nov 2012The dates are lining up, now we wait to see how the badges align. Just before the Toyota GT 86/Scion FR-S/Subaru BRZ line-up was introduced at the Tokyo Motor Show last year, there was a report that Subaru was considering a convertible while Toyota wouldn't even comment on it. That got swapped around when earlier this year the chief engineer on Toyota's side said a convertible was coming, and then a Scion FR-S droptop was confirmed for early 2014.
Autocar now reports that the Toyota GT 86 convertible will make its first appearance at the 2013 Geneva Motor Show in March. In a car whose specs like weight, packaging, horsepower and center of gravity were all tightly controlled to get the most from the least, the changes necessitated by chopping the roof could make this a very different car. It's said to employ a fabric roof to keep a "small" weight gain check, and the suspension will be softened to work more harmoniously with the decreased body stiffness. And somewhere in all that the back seat and trunk space will need to take a hit.
In other news, Autocar says the hi-po GT 86 with some kind of capacitor system instead of batteries is being worked on for 2015.
Nissan exec Andy Palmer derides Toyobaru coupes as 'midlife crisis' cars
Mon, 28 Oct 2013Andy Palmer, Nissan's executive vice president, does not like the Scion FR-S or Subaru BRZ. To us, that's like saying you enjoy barbecuing puppies, but we'll let him slide, because his statements about the Toyobaru twins are much, much more than just idle trash talk.
Speaking to Motor Trend's Nate Martinez, Palmer said, "Do we have any competitors [in the small, rear-drive coupe segment]? Are you talking about the Subaru [BRZ]? It was a car designed for a 50-year-old. It's for a midlife crisis. That's not what we do." Strong words, but what followed was even better.
"Are you coming to the Tokyo Motor Show? You'll see the answer to the midlife crisis. Except it won't be for the midlife crisis." So, if you were wondering whether Nissan is working on a competitor to the Scion FR-S and Subaru BRZ, the answer seems to be a resounding "yes."
